When I first tried this tea, I was disappointed. However, I thought why not give it a second chance since I've always enjoyed cinnamon and vanilla; maybe I just need to change the way I brew and serve it. I now faithfully steep the tea for five minutes as recommended on the package. I set my timer and immediately remove the teabag and add a touch of stevia for a little sweetness; the stevia enhances the cinnamon flavor bringing it to the fore, yet doesn't overpower the vanilla. What a difference! This is my favorite after dinner/evening tea. I love it with dessert or simply all by itself.

I love cinnamon and I love vanilla, so I thought this tea would be perfect for me. Unfortunately, I felt like I was drinking water. No matter how long I brewed it, it still had a very, very weak flavor....

I was hesitant to buy this flavor because I am not a high cinnamon drinker. I like the vanilla better. I figured to try this and it tastes great. The cinnamon is balanced and it just has a touch of vanilla to it. I gave a bag to a friend and he liked it too. I will reorder this once I am finished with my other samples of tea.

I was surprised that a reviewer said that this tea becomes bitter, because I am a chronic over-brewer and I haven't found that to be true at all. I also don't think that the sarsaparilla flavor is too...

I was surprised that a reviewer said that this tea becomes bitter, because I am a chronic over-brewer and I haven't found that to be true at all. I also don't think that the sarsaparilla flavor is too strong; in fact I can't taste it at all. The rooibos is the strongest component of this tea for me, with the cinnamon coming in at a distant second. The vanilla I wouldn't even guess to be an ingredient if it wasn't named on the package. I love rooibos, so this isn't a disappointment for me, but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting either.

I got this tea in a holiday set, and had high hopes since I like both cinnamon and vanilla flavored tea.

I'm not sure what it is about this tea, but I can't handle the taste - it doesn't taste like cinnamon OR vanilla. Instead it's very bitter, even when steeped for a very short time. I'm also having a hard time finding anyone to give the rest of the tea bags too because I haven't found anyone who likes it.
